* PEOPLES OF EUROP IGNORING POLITICS Tardieu Notes Marked Indif- ference, With Condemnation of League Developments. BY ANDRE TARDIEU. TARIS, September 13.—In what- ever country one visited this Sum- mer, whether France, England. Switzerland or Ttaly, one received same impression—namely, the vnormous indifference toward politi- vai activities of governments. The writer was in England during the great London conference crisis, and almost the sole topic of, conver- sation was the Vacquier trial and whether the murderer would hang. Three weeks later, during the great Geneva oratorical tournament, every- body thronged to Wembley to see the old-fashioned military maneuvers which replaced the banished cow- ok s indifference is the strongest possible condemnation of the politi- ‘al methods of the last five years and particularly of what is now happen- ing in the League of Nations. De- spite the improved agreement reached by the British and French «delegations before the premiers de- parted, evervthing that has happened In the last 19 days confirms the un- derlying disagreement mentioned in the ‘writer's last dispatch. And if the public tak so little interest in the varied maneuvers designed to cover up this disagreement it is be- cause the public Instinctively knows tliese maneuvers will be sterile. Disarmament Debatex Cited. Read the debates of the commit- tees and subcommittees discussing disarmament. You will find therein Loth of the fundamental ideas which minated ‘the discussions of the | Sue covenant in 1919, On one land is the need for securit which, f it is not met by individual nations drming to protect themselves, must Le found in a broad pact for mutual assistance. On the other side is dis- trust of such pacts, coupled with | ideas of absolute sovereignty which | would make a super state impossible. The writer has before him the apeech of Signor Schanzer of Italy, at ieneva, and President Wilson's speech | in 1918, The former seems to be| direct plagiarism of the latter. Re-| plying to Leon Bourgeois, who de- manded that the League have an armed force, otherwise it could not inforce security, Mr. Wilson said “no super stute” as Schanger did on Thursday. So the covenant in Article 10 merely stated the principle with- out providing means for enforce- ment. Problem Mot Easily Solved. The result has been the conclusion of separate treuties, such as the lit- ententa. The Geneva discussion nicets the same obstacles, and no matter liow ingenious the formulas may be, the problem will not be solved tomorrow. All this is the re- sult of sevarate political tendencies in Anglo-Saxon countries against the continent Without considering the United States. which will need a long time to assimilate the underlying prin- ciples of European politics—the American idea of a frontier, for ex- ample, is a geographical abstraction and not & s.nguinary reality—Eng- land has just through Prime Minister Ma speech, how utterly unconscious is of what has been continent's very life for ages past Only consider his harshness toward smaller states. which negates the moral ba: of the last war. The need of these small states for securi- ty is a matter of indifference to Eng- land. When Germany got too power- ful. Great Britain took a sudden in- terest in Kurope, but since Germany's defeat the foreign office returns to its selfish isolation, which shines so clearly through Mr. MacDonald’s evangelistic words. Differences Sharp as Ever, Against this what does it matter if the League hall shakes with applause when MacDonald and Herriot dra- matically shake hands. One need only go from the public session into closed committee rooms to find the old differen as sharp as ever. Can it be wondered that the pubiic no tonger takes interest in these scenes, which have been re-enacted so often in the last six years. The more the neople see of ambassadorial accolades the less they believe in them. In 1919 the difficulties were bridged in the best way possible, but since then nothing has been done but to tear down what was accomplished then, and wi perceive too late that we have nothing better to substitute, One may well ask whether interna- tional anarchy has ever been more triumphant than today. The speeches of Count Appon. of Hungary and M. Hymans of Belgium, to say nothing of Germany's campaign concerning war guilt, ‘make this question ex- tremely time] (Copsright, 1924.) —_— WILL TEST CHILDREN.

Sex Equality and Marital Fidelity Are Rigidly Adhered To by Termites Insects Build Homes Strong Enough to Repulse Trampling Animals and Raise Mushrooms to Satisfy Need for Delicacies. Indicate almost human intelligence. A little Insect that builds villages with roofs strong enough to support the weight of wild bulls, cultivates felds of mushrooms for the support of its family and sticks to one wife for a lifetime—that is the termite, as described by Dr. Thomas E. Sny- der of the Bureau of Entomology, Department of Agriculture, who has just published the results of an in- tensive study of the social life of these remarkable creatures. The termite, which looks like an ant but in reality is a far different species, has developed habits which CAST OF PRIMITVE SKULL ON EXHIBIT Reproduction of Relic Found by British in Rhodesia Shows Earliest Type. Spectal Dispatch to The Stor. NEW YORK, September 13.—A cast of a skull more nearly resembling the ape formation than any previously found was placed on public view to- day in the American Museum of Nat- ural History. Except that it repre- sents a human relic, scientific opinion is not yet settled concerning it, and it scems likely to fan fresh energy into the lay disput over the theory of evolution, for the specimen here is an exact reproduction of the original, lodged in the British Museum. When found in Rhodesia, the miners who dug it up thought it was the skull of an ape. Scrutiny by British proved that it belonged to a man of more primitive type than any other relic yet exhumed. This conelusion did not assign fo it necessarily greater antiquity than the skulls of the well known Nean- derthal men, although there has not yet been time to clear up that ques- tion, Dr. Smith Woodward of the natu- ral history department of the British Museum has ceclared it a type of a new species of primitive man. Its most striking feature is an extremely low and retreating forehead, with enormous transverse ridges above the eves. corresponding to the brow ridge of the adult gorilla. There is quite a distance between nose and mouth, which gives the face the appearance of unusual length. Prof. Eiliott, Smith, eminent British anatomist, says the face is more brutal than that of any other human being. living or extinct, owing to the overgrowth of the facial bones, especially the browbridge. FPalate and teeth, however, are not specially primitive or at all ape-like. The ca- nine teeth do mot project, the wis- dom teeth are smaller than the other molars and the teeth carry also marks of caries, a disease notably rare among primitive peoples. The skull is free from post-mortem crushing or distortion. It seems cer- tain the depressed form of the cran- ical vault is natural and not due to artificial deformation. A hole in the base enabled F. O. Barlow of the British Museum to make a perfect cast of the brain cavity. Its capacity was found to be 1280 cubic centimeters, which is small for a man six feet tall, although within the adult human range. As may be judged from the ex- ternal shape, the brain was flatter on top than occurs with any modern human race. It was deficient in de- velopment of the upper frontal and parietal regions, which are supposed to be associated in general with the higher intellectual functions. Sir Arthur Keith describes Rhodesian man as “first cousin to the Neanderthal man.” Dr. Smith Woodward, who is preparing for pub- lication the result of an exhaustive the | study of the relic, gave as his first impFession the opinion that the Rhodesian man represents a later de- f-velopment than the Neanderthal man, not meaning that he is a descendant of the Neanderthal man. -— MATIN SAYS HURLEY’S PLAN ONLY PERSONAL Newspaper Warns Funding Scheme Presented Is Not Official Yet. By the Associated Press, PARIS, September 13.—The Matin, dealing with Edward M. Hurley's.plan for funding the French debt to the United States, says it is important to avoid a misunderstanding in France and it is necessary clearly to empha- size the fact that it is Mr. Hurley's personal plan, Mr. Hurley had an opportunity to meet M. Clementel, the French finance minister, in London. M. Clementel listened 'to his plans, but, according 10 the Matin, took no engagements, for the simple reason that he had no authority. The paper, however, un- derstands that the minister has the intention to attempt to reach an agreement over the American debt as 800N as an agreement is reached on the British debt. It is not impossible, concludes the Matin, that 'M. Clementel may visit the United States early next year With a view to conducting this impor- tant negotiation personally. Picnic a Factor.

Thanks to the cheap motor car, the vacuum bottle and hard roads’ the picnic is now a greater factor in hu- man life than at any other time since Adam and Eve stepped out of the zarden.

AN TELLS 10 REDUC 185 and 195 pounds and was dzily{u!:ri k3 Termites live together in well or- ganized communities in wood, in the ground, in mound nests or in tree nests. They practically never see the sunlight, and ‘as a result are blind. A colony, like that of bees 8nd ants, consists of a large number of workers, and at least one pair of parent Individuals. But the termite colony differs from one of other so- cial insects in respect to the queen. She is not boss, but shares equal rights with her husband. The pair stick together for life. Eat Wood for Food. The king and queen share the royal cell in incipient colonies and eat wood for food. They care for the young until these have reached the point where they can care for themselves. types of termites attain a huge size, become inactive, and sometimes become imprisoned in their rooms because they are too big to get through the doors. They become mere egg-laying machines. In addition to thelr natural food, wood, all termites constantly lick secretions from the bodies of other termites, sometimes becoming ravenous that a part of a leg or wing is bitten off. They are cannibals to dead or dying members of the colony. So far as is known, no healthy mem- ber ever Is killed for food. to digest wood, the insects have great colonfes of still smaller creatures, protozoa, in their stomachs. In some of the higher forms, however, these protozoa are absent, and the insects are obliged to turn to more digestible foods. It is among such a group, found in Java, that the gardeners oc- cur. They actually cultivate little beds of mushrooms, according to Mr. Snyder, aiding the growth In order to secure food. In mature queens, the jaw muscles become degenerated, due to the fact that they are fed on partly digested food, so that they can no longer live on a wood diet and special delicacies have to be prepared for their tables. Forced to Underground Life. The termites have been forced to take to an underground life in order to survive. As a result they have lost their sight, and are soft bodied. They are poor fighters. Some keep a spe- cial class of soldiers with specially formed mandibles to do their fighting for them. Others depend upon mu- tual rallying to the flag in case of danger, and every citizen is liable to be called for military service. In addition to being subterranean in_habit, many termites build caron, earthlike shelter tubes, when they desire to come above ground or into the qpen. That is, they carry earth, their source of protection and mois- ture, with them above ground, over stones and up tree trunks. They always abandon colonies in wood that have been disturbed. emigrating through underground galleries. often to considerable depths. These emi- grations also are made to avoid ex- tremes in temperature and lack of moisture, particularly in arid or cold regions. Among one species the nest often are architecturally perfect. Nests found on the Lower Congo have a regular system of ventilation contrived with considerable in- genuity. The compass termite of Australia builds mounds orientated exactly to the four directions. Another species builds these mounds with roofs %0 strong that it is almost wild bull stamps on them. APARTMENT HOUSE SUITES of 2 and 3 rooms and bath and breakfast rooms. Well arranged, all outside.
